Following days of *relatively* restrained behavior001 Archives President Trump unleashed an attack on Dr. Christine Blasey Ford Friday morning, accusing her of failing to report the alleged assault by Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh when they were both teenagers.
Survivors on Twitter bristled at Trump's tweetstorm. Using the hashtag #WhyIDidntReport, they explained their reasons for choosing not to report their own assaults.

I ask that she bring those filings forward so that we can learn date, time, and place!" Trump wrote on Twitter.
